We saw the second guy for a follow up yesterday. All the blood work came back good, which isn't a good thing, as you all know. He said there are still somethings to consider, but I could tell that he is not sure where else this could be going. We also got the summary of the third EMG. Can...

Hello,
I posted several months ago about symptoms and concern that I possibly had ALS. I had several symptoms that included no confidence in my gait, twitching, pain, and cold spots on arm and leg. This forum provided reassuring feedback that it didn't sound like ALS. I have sense had an...
